Deal For Alcohol Plant Uncertain EUGENE, Sept. 26 P Un less the War Assets administra tion and the Hudson brothers of Americus, Georgia, reach an agreement by October 1. nego tiations for lease of the Spring field alcohol plant will be discon tinued. This was revealed in a letter from Representative Har ris Ellsworth to the Springfield Chamber of Commerce.

It said Russia has had atomic wea pons since that time. Observers' attention was fo cussed mainly on the last two paragraphs of the Tass state ment. These paragraphs read: "It should be pointed out that the Soviet government, despite the existence in its country of an atomic weapon, adopfs and intends adopting in the future iis atomic position in favor of the absolute prohibition of the use of the atomic weapon. "Concerning control of the atomic weapon. It has to be said that control will be essential in order to check up on fulfillment of a decision on the prohibition of production of the atomic wea pon."

Security Need Stressed In Congress Policy Of "Tolerance" Threat To Our National Existence, Is Assertion Bv DOUGLAS B. CORNELL WASHINGTON, Sept. 26. ( The question of Russian espio nage and American security won more emphasis from U. S. law makers today than a renewal of Soviet suggestions for world con trols over the A-bomb. Two weekend statements by a Ealr of strategically placed mem ers of Congress especially ar gued for tighter curbs on spies now that Russia has had ait atomic blast of her own. The arguments were advanced by Rep. Velde (R-Ill), a former G-man who worked on Soviet es pionage cases, and Senator O'Con nor tD-Md), acting chairman of a Senate immigration subcom mittee. Now a member of the House un- American activities committee, Velde talked of Introducing a reso lution demanding that Congress li vestigate "our entire security setup." Velde said there should be an Inquiry, that the security record ' lx "disgraceful" and a "threat to our national existence." For fifteen years, he said, the American government" from tha White House down' has had an official attitude of tolerance and even sympathy for the views of comnunists and fellow travelers. As a result, he continued, espio nage flourished and the Russians undoubtedly gained three to five years In manufacturing tha atomic bomb. Door Still Open In a broadcast, O'Connor said that under present laws the door is open for "communist infiltra tion under the guise of diplomatic and semi-diplomatic status." Not onlv rank and file subversives art coming in, he said, but also hun dreds of ring leaders. As the agents of Moscow," he said, "thev are the brains and tha guiding force of subversive activ ity In this country. As to what can be done about them, O'Conor said the main need Is for a law to bar them from the country or toss them out If they get in, regardless oi tneir diplo mat Ic status. Secretary of State Acheson has protested that such a law would drastically Interfere with the handling of foreign policy and might result In a rupture of rela tions with all communist-dominated countries. Senator McMahon fD-Conn), chairman nf tha SAnsi-.Unn,- (atomic committee meanwhile labeled as "a phoney" the Russian call for international control of atomic weapons. The Russian offer is for con trol to be exercised by a commis sion under the United Nations Se curity council, in which Russia has olten exercised a veto.
